MURRAY, Utah, Jan. 10, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Police are looking for two armed robbers who held up a Tesoro gas station and stole an employee’s vehicle late Tuesday night.

Murray Police Sgt. C. Breckenfeld told Gephardt Daily the robbery took place a little before 11 p.m. at the Tesoro station at 6785 S. State St.

Breckenfeld said two people wearing hoodies and masks entered the store and brandished guns.

“They didn’t get a lot of money — a few dollars, some change, cigarettes,” he said. “But they stole the clerk’s car.”

The stolen vehicle is a blue Hyundai Sonata, license plate W052XC.

No customers were in the store at the time, and no one was injured.

Anyone who may have information about this robbery or the suspects, or who spots the stolen Hyundai, is asked to call police dispatch at 801-840-4000.
